( DURING LUNCH, THE telephones are the most abused objects around. (?) Three talk for the price of one! At least Diane Boy, William Salmon, and Joe Gauldin are an enterprising crew. FRENZIED LAST- MINUTE brain wash before exams occupies sedentary scholars Steve Bass, Carolyn Garrett, Betty Martin, John Borden, Ruth Leonard, Sally Warren, Clyde DeLoach, and Beth Farley. MORNING EXERCISE — A trip to the book store to stock up on candy (rarely books!) Wayne Adkins and Martha Vic- cellio wait for their purchases. NOT DARING TO glance out the crack to civiliza- tion, Coach Ralph Wall’s students obey his warnings — weary by fifth period.

nd Opportunity Is young men to lead a worthy life, not just to make a living. ” — Robert E. Lee Education, not an end in itself, is a bridge- work to other, loftier things. Nor is education simply a process for learning important theories and fundamentals. It is a limitless period in To Teach which logic, reason, and perception have an op- portunity to develop if they are allowed to ger- minate in an open, curious, interested mind. All the years spent in schooling are meant to be preparation for a future which does not nec- essarily include more formal learning but which will be filled with problems requiring self- discipline and rational judgment. A philosophy of education is of no avail un- less it becomes more th an a belief. Lee’s convic- tions are shared and exemplified by G.W.’s educators.
